Welcome to the second episode of Show Me The Way.
This episode Naomi speaks to Sam Smith who is the chief executive
of FinnCap - a City broker that she founded in 2007.
She was running a team at a larger broker and saw
potential to create her own thing so with her staff they raised £1m
to buy out the division and set up afresh. Just as she did it
Northern Rock collapsed and the financial crisis hit but she saw
her opportunity and ploughed on.
FinnCap is now one of the City’s most successful broking firms and
Sam is the youngest and only female CEO of a City broker.
Sam has a young daughter and she talks really honestly about how
she came back to work too soon following maternity leave and how
she’s used that experience to make things better for other
returners.
FinnCap is on the hunt for the UK's most dynamic female-led
businesses so if that's you then check out the event coming up.
It's part of Ambition Nation’s trailblazing Female
Leaders Series and will support their growth and present funding
options, through insights from both investors and CEOs who have
been on that same journey themselves. And it's hosted by the
fabulous Sandi Toksvig.
